Summary: Taking advantage of your ignorance...
Comment: Come on, people! Simply put, believing Dixy Lee Ray's conclusions is like thinking professional wrestling is real. Through a series of half-truths, bad science, and a willful misrepresentation of atmospheric chemistry, Ray makes the case that global warming isn't happening, acid rain isn't real, and that pesticides really aren't all that dangerous...all in 200 odd pages! Well, at least she doesn't include any meaningful footnotes or references to hinder the readability of her text. Don't be fooled by this piece of pro-business, pro-corporate, irresponsible propaganda. If you're really interested in this sort of thing, head on down to your local college or community college and sign up for an introduction to geology class. Just about anywhere you go (with the possible exception of Bob Jones University), you'll find that what much of what Ray proposes isn't taken the least bit seriously by any scientist in any field. Ray knew that if you're buying this book, let alone reading it all the way through--that you really don't know that much about geology or atmospheric science, and even less about the whole concept of backing up your work with foot notes, end notes, and peer review-and that you will just go along with it. "Why would she make THIS up" you ask? Well, by getting you to go along with weakening or elimination of environmental regulation, huge polluters stand to make BILLIONS off of your land, your water, and your air. Go back to sleep, America, The Corporation is in control.

Summary: Trashing the Enviornmental Zealots
Comment: I first came across this book in 1994 when I was a liberal leaning college student concerned with the environment. I am now a conservative college graduate concerned with the environment, and this book had much to do with my transformation. Dixy Lee Ray is a breath of fresh air speaking on a subject many of us are ill-informed on.
If you are concerned with the environment, you will find much in this book that interests you (as long as you can handle truth). Miss Ray debunks much of the dogma the enviro-nazis shove down the publics throat. She takes on the issues of global warming, ozone depletion, nuclear medicine, acid rain and others. Using scientific methods (something the leftist leaning environmental zealots ignore because they fear the outcome of true scientific discovery) she intelligently and unemotionally discusses how water is naturally acidic; the benefits of x-rays and other advances in radiation therapy; the benefits of pesticides in our ability to grow more food using less labor and land.
Throughout her book Ray uses the statistics and predictions of the environmental movement's leaders against them to show how out of touch with reality and normal society they are. A Stanford University Biologist, Paul Ehrlich is quoted as predicting global famine in 1985 and a shrinking of the US population from 250 million to 22.5 million by 1999. Here is another quote, "Paul Watson, founder of Greenpeace: 'I got the impression that instead of going out to shoot birds, I should go out and shoot the kids who shoot birds.'"
The list goes on and on. The best part of the book is the final chapter, in which Ray presents a sound and logical formula for having both a clean environment and a technologically advanced society. This book should be read by all high school seniors so they can understand the truth about the environment rather than the dogma they are spoon feed in public schools and the liberal media.

Summary: Puke
Comment: Give me a break. A surefire way to confuse the public with bad science and pander to industry and business.
